Overheard at Holiday Market: Grandpa's a tough one. Everybody scratches their head, because he has no hobbies and no interests.
I nodded sympathetically, but then remembered what my niece gave my mother (her grandmother) last Christmas: a calendar.
Not just any calendar; a calendar with a day circled every month when she and her partner would come by and visit. During lockdown, they brought takeout supper. Now that things have opened up a bit, they like to go to Rock Dam for a Friday fish fry. She also comes over to help roll out potica dough. It's been a lovely year's gifting.
